What: The Players Trust's City Clinics program is a grass-roots campaign developed by -- and features the active participation of -- current Major Leaguers to promote the game of baseball to underprivileged children, ages 6-16, in select cities across the U.S. and Latin America.

When: Thursday, August 19, 2010 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. PTDodgers scheduled to arrive at 11:45 a.m. [Please note: The event is not open to the general public.]

The Players Trust enjoys the support of the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association's Legends for Youth program in hosting its City Clinics. Children participating in these free clinics receive hands-on instruction from current and former big leaguers in areas such as base-running, pitching, hitting, throwing and fielding. During each session, City Clinics' attendees also participate in a question-and-answer session with the players, and receive free T-shirts, autographs and refreshments.

The Major League Baseball Players Trust is a charitable foundation created by the players to help those in need. Through the Players Trust, active Major Leaguers contribute their time, money and celebrity to call attention to important issues affecting those in need and to help encourage others to get involved in their own communities.

The City Clinics program is underwritten by Majestic Athletic, a division of VF Imagewear, Inc.
